Hey guys this is Reuben at Competition Accessories and this is the all new HJC CS-R2 helmet. This replaces the HJC CS-R1, its a polycarbonate shell helmet. They have molded into a very aerodynamic shape. HJC wind tunnel testing in house and they have used that to perfect how this helmet flows through the air. As your riding you can see it has a sculpted rear spoiler built in the shell, which is going to keep this helmet very stable at speeds and prevent from any buffeting. As far as ventilation goes on this helmet you have a chin bar vent that open and closes at the front, air scoop at the top with a slider switch that is very easy to operate with gloves on. At the rear you have some always open vents that has the steel mesh that gives it a really nice look and it draws warm air right out the back of the helmet while your riding. This helmet is right around 100 dollars, you get a lot of helmet for the money. If you need an entry level helmet this is definitely a good option. One of the great things about it is it comes with the HJ-09 face shield and thats the face shield HJC uses on a lot of their higher end helmets. Its going to block 95% of UV's and it has an anti-scratch coating on it. It actually has a shield locking mechanism so if you push this down its going to actually lock the shield down in place so it cant come open on you. It does have a detente so if you want to open it partially you can do that. To change the shield out is very simple there is basically triggers on each side and it pops right off. Thats very easy to take off and replace. There is a very good selection of shields that are available for this helmet. To reinstall the shield there is an arrow and you line that up and it pops right back into place. Another thing that HJC has done with this helmet is they have given you a fully removable liner. Basically there is going to be a few snaps in the cheek pads, those are going to come right out. Its lined with a material called Nylex. Its fairly nice for the money it is a good soft fit. Its not going to be moisture wicking. To remove the crown liner two snaps at the back and then a pull around the front and that comes right out. You will see they have used mesh along the sides to allow that ventilation to reach your skin. If you look at the inside of the helmet you can see there is some channeling for that ventilation. That is the HJC CS-R2, brand new helmet from them. I think it has a nice shape, its comfortable, and definitely a good entry level helmet. You can check these out online at Competition Accessories.

HJC CS-R2 Helmets are lightweight and super cooling, so grab one and and hit the road. With quick change shields that need no tools to change out, HJC CS-R2 Helmets are ready to go right out of the box. Replacement shields are available, are 95% UV blocking and are pin lock ready.

I needed a new helmet, and I was going to replace my HJC CS-R1 with another. However, prior to Christmas I was emailed a daily special so, I picked up the CS-R2. I'm glad I did. The venting and vision is better with the same great fit. Most of all, QUIET. That's why I mostly ride with a full face solid helmet is QUIET Safety is also another great feature, but I enjoy riding in the quiet on VT roads.I've also received a few compliments on the stylish look of the HJC CS-R2.

I like it - DennisTXRecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Comfortable

Cons: little bit of cold weather fog

Although the first one had to be returned for a larger size, my helmet is comfortable and looks good. There is a nice air flow through the helmet, however in colder temperatures, it does fog up a little bit when I am sitting still. I suppose that is to be expected though

Below are more HJC Reviews from our online customers.

Hopefully they can help you find the right item and make the best buying decision.

I bought the Green shield for a CL-16 Machine helmet and it looks awesome. Itfits very well, easy to install and remove and seals well also. Good clarity with no distortion. Minor issue, I noticed a small imperfection in the material but iit does not affect the clarity and is not noticeable from the inside of the helmet. I definitely recommend this shield.

I wanted a new shield as I had scratched mine up a bit. It went on without a problem in about a few seconds. I ordered the Light Smoke which is perfect as it provides a bit of shade without obstructing my vision in any way. You can see out, they can't see in

I purchased the Chin Curtain to stop the wind from coming into the helmet from underneath. It was so easy to install and works exactly as I want it. If you're getting to much wind I would recommend this product.

I bought this helmet for my gf as a replacement for an even cheaper one that I had bought her, but it got dropped to the cement, and needed replacement. Have had good luckj with HJC's before,and am not disappointed with this one, either. As always, no complaints about CompAcc..fast shipping and good prices.

This was a replacement shield as my stock shield received the blunt end of a bouncing rock. While a little thinner and slightly more 'flimsy' than the stock shield, I am overall satisfied with the replacement. It gets the job done. The smoke color was nice.. not too dark. Still able to see during the early evening hours riding home. Was very happy with the shipping and ordering process.

Duluth, MN - I've had several rides with limited vision due to frost or fog on the face shield. Since I installed the shield I've had no problems with fog or frost. I wonder how I ever rode without one and I can't imagine riding without one again.

I would caution against buying this helmet without trying it on first. I ordered based on my head circumference. The overall fit was great, but the cheek pads were incredibly tight. I sent it back. The size was medium I had worn an HJC CL-16 the next step up their line in size small at an indoor kart place and it fit great I tried on a medium at the kart track and it was a little sloppy. Weird. I'm now much more wary of ordering a helmet online. Also note that it is not Snell certified.

I bought this to use on my motorcycle with my IS-16. It fits fine and works really well in the cold 35 F without any fogging. It has a warning about not using on a motorcycle, which I'm guessing is because you get a little extra glare from lights due to the double lens. I find the glare acceptable. The downside is that the design includes a large air gap. This presumably helps in the fog management, but the result is a lot of wind noise and cold air. I decided to go back to a conventional lens to keep my head warm and live with the fog.

The sizing information is provided by the manufacturer and does not guarantee a perfect fit. However, we are happy to assist you with any needed exchanges.

Note: the RPHA-Max seems to run a little smaller due to the thick padding and smaller overall shell design. Most size exchanges have been to up a size. So if you are on the fence. We recommend thinking about going up a size to start. However, please keep in mind the padding will break in some and a helmet that is a little tight vs. too loose for safety.
